Ramair Focus ST 225 Turbo Intake Pipe – TI-225-BK
The Ramair TI-225-BK is a direct replacement turbo intake pipe designed specifically for the Ford Focus ST 225. It replaces the original plastic crossover pipe with a more rigid, better-flowing aluminium alternative, finished in a textured black powder coat for a clean, purposeful look under the bonnet.
Why Replace the Factory Pipe?
The stock intake pipe on the Focus ST 225 is a known weak point. The original plastic pipe can flex and distort under boost pressure, creating turbulence in the airflow before it reaches the turbocharger. Boost pressure is the pressurised air your turbo pushes into the engine – and anything that disrupts the flow of air getting to the turbo in the first place makes its job harder.
Swapping to a properly engineered aluminium pipe smooths out that airflow, reduces restriction, and allows the turbo to breathe more freely and work more efficiently.
Constant Radius Design – Why It Matters
The TI-225-BK is built to a constant radius bend, meaning the curve through the pipe stays smooth and even from start to finish. Sharp or inconsistent bends slow airflow down and create turbulence. A smooth, consistent curve keeps air moving freely towards the turbo inlet, which is exactly what you want.
- Constant radius aluminium pipe reduces airflow restriction
- Laser cut, TIG welded bracket for precise and secure fitment
- High quality stainless steel W2 hose clamps included
- Silicone reducer connects the pipe to the turbo inlet
- Textured black powder coat finish for a smart, understated appearance
TIG welding is a precise, clean form of welding that produces strong, neat joins – combined with laser cut bracketry, this ensures accurate fitment and solid construction. This is not a loosely adapted universal part; it is made to fit the ST 225 correctly.
What to Expect After Fitting
A quality intake pipe like this is best described as a supporting modification. It removes a restriction and improves the consistency of airflow reaching the turbo. On a standard car it is a sensible upgrade. On a tuned or modified ST 225, it becomes a more important piece of the puzzle – ensuring the intake side keeps pace with any other changes you have made.
Installation is a straightforward swap for anyone comfortable working in the engine bay. Ensure all connections are properly sealed and clamps are fully tightened before running the engine.
